Definitions
- This invention relates to single crystal nickel-based superalloys and, more particularly, single crystal nickel-based superalloys and articles made therefrom for use in advanced gas turbine engines under high stress, high temperature conditions.
- These second generation nickel-based superalloys have a moderate rhenium content of about 3 weight percent.
- An example of such a second generation nickel- based superalloy is described in U.S. Patent No. 4,643,782.
- This patent discloses a superalloy, commercially known as CMSX-4 alloy, having a specific nickel-based composition including a rhenium content in the range of 2.8-3.2 weight percent.
- CMSX-4 alloy commercially known as CMSX-4 alloy
- the present invention provides the next generation of nickel-based superalloys having higher total refractory element ( +Re+Mo+Ta) content and improved mechanical properties.
- Single crystal articles are generally produced having the low-modulus (001) crystallographic orientation parallel to the component dendritic growth pattern or blade stacking axis.
- Face- centered cubic (FCC) superalloy single crystals grown in the (001) direction provide extremely good thermal fatigue resistance relative to conventionally cast articles. Since these single crystal articles have no grain boundaries, alloy design without grain boundary strengtheners, such as carbon, boron and zirconium, is possible. As these elements are alloy melting point depressants, their reduction from an alloy design provides a greater potential for high temperature mechanical strength achievement since more complete gamma prime solution and microstructural homogenization can be achieved relative to directionally solidified (DS) columnar grain and conventionally cast materials. Their reduction also makes possible a higher incipient melting temperature.
- DS directionally solidified
- alloys must be designed to avoid tendency for casting defect formation such as freckles, slivers, spurious grains and recrystallization. Additionally, the alloys must provide an adequate heat treatment window (numeric difference between an alloy' s gamma prime solvus and incipient melting point) to allow for nearly complete gamma prime solutioning. At the same time, the alloy compositional balance should be designed to provide an adequate blend of engineering properties necessary for operation in gas turbine engines. Selected properties generally considered important by gas turbine engine designers include: elevated temperature creep- rupture strength, thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance, impact resistance plus hot corrosion and oxidation resistance.
- the unique superalloy of the present invention provides an excellent blend of the properties necessary for use in producing single crystal articles for operation in gas turbine engine hot sections.
- This invention relates to a nickel-based superalloy comprising the following elements in percent by weight : from about 5.0 to about 7.0 percent rhenium, from about 1.8 to about 4.0 percent chromium, from about 1.5 to about 9.0 percent cobalt, from about 7.0 to about 10.0 percent tantalum, from about 3.5 to about 7.5 percent tungsten, from about 5.0 to about 7.0 percent aluminum, from about 0.1 to about 1.2 percent titanium, from about 0 to about 0.5 percent columbium, from about 0.25 to about 2.0 percent molybdenum, from about 0 to about 0.15 percent hafnium, and the balance nickel plus incidental impurities, the superalloy having a phasial stability number N V3B less than about 2.10.
- this superalloy composition may be further comprised of (percentages are in weight percent) from about 0 to about 0.04 percent carbon, from about 0 to about 0.01 percent boron, from about 0 to about 0.01 percent yttrium, from about 0 to about 0.01 percent cerium and from about 0 to about 0.01 percent lanthanum.
- the superalloy can also be comprised of from about 0 to about 0.04 percent manganese, from about 0 to about 0.05 percent silicon, from about 0 to about 0.01 percent zirconium, from about 0 to about 0.001 percent sulfur, and from about 0 to about 0.10 percent vanadium.
- the base element is nickel.
- this superalloy can advantageously have a phasial stability number N V3B less than about 1.85, and a chromium content of from about 1.8 to about 3.0 percent, a rhenium content of from about 5.5 to about 6.5 percent, and a cobalt content of from about 2.0 to about 5.0 percent.
- This invention provides a superalloy having an increased resistance to creep under high stress, high temperature conditions, particularly up to about 2030°F.
- this invention relates to a single crystal casting to be used under high stress, high temperature conditions up to about 2030°F characterized by an increased resistance to creep under such conditions .
- the casting is made from a nickel-based superalloy consisting essentially of the following elements in percent by weight: from 6.2 to 6.8 percent rhenium, from 1.8 to 2.5 percent chromium, from 1.5 to 2.5 percent cobalt, from 8.0 to 9.0 percent tantalum, from 3.5 to 6.0 percent tungsten, from 5.5 to 6.1 percent aluminum, from 0.1 to 0.5 percent titanium, from 0.01 to 0.1 percent columbium, from 0.25 to 0.60 percent molybdenum, from 0 to 0.05 percent hafnium, from 0 to 0.04 percent carbon, from 0 to 0.01 percent boron, from 0 to 0.01 percent yttrium, from 0 to 0.01 percent cerium, from 0 to 0.01 percent lanthanum, from 0 to 0.04 percent manganese, from 0 to 0.05
- Single crystal articles can be suitably made from the superalloy of this invention.
- the article can be a component for a turbine engine and, more particularly, the component can be a gas turbine blade or gas turbine vane.
- the superalloy compositions of this invention have a critically balanced alloy chemistry which results in a unique blend of desirable properties. These properties include: excellent single crystal component castability, particularly for moderately sized blade and vane components; adequate cast component solutionability; excellent resistance to single crystal cast component recrystallization; ultra-high creep-rupture strength to about 2030°F; extremely good smooth and notched low cycle fatigue strength; extremely good high cycle fatigue strength; high impact strength; very good bare hot corrosion resistance; very good bare oxidation resistance; adequate coatability; and adequate microstructural stability, such as resistance to the undesirable, brittle phases called topologically close-packed (TCP) phases.

- the nickel-based superalloy of the present inventio comprises the following elements in percent by weight :
- Rhenium about 5.0-7.0
- Tantalum about 7.0-10.0
- Titanium about 0.1-1.2
- Molybdenum about 0.25-2.0
- This superalloy composition also has a phasial stability number N V3B less than about 2.10. Further, this invention has a critically balanced alloy chemistry which results in a unique blend of desirable properties. These properties include increased creep- rupture strength relative to prior art single crystal superalloys, single crystal component castability, cast component solutionability, single crystal component resistance to recrystallization, fatigue strength, impact strength, bare hot corrosion resistance, bare oxidation resistance, component coatability, and microstructural stability, including resistance to TCP phase formation under high stress, high temperature conditions.
- the superalloys of the present invention have a low chromium, low cobalt and high rhenium content.
- the chromium is about 1.8-4.0% by weight.
- the chromium content is from 1.8% to 3.0% by weight.
- This chromium content is significantly lower than that typically found in prior art single crystal nickel-based superalloys.
- chromium provides hot corrosion resistance, although it may also assist with the alloy's oxidation capability. Tantalum and rhenium also assist toward hot corrosion property attainment, and aluminum is present at sufficient levels to provide adequate oxidation resistance, so that relatively low addition of chromium is tolerable in this alloy.
- chromium contributes to the formation of Cr, Re, W-rich TCP phase and must be balanced accordingly in these compositions.
- the cobalt content is about 1.5-9.0% by weight.
- the cobalt content is from 2.0% to 5.0% by weight.
- This cobalt content is lower than that typically found in prior art single crystal nickel-based superalloys.
- cobalt assists in providing an appropriate heat treatment window since it has the effect of lowering the alloy's gamma prime solvus while generally not affecting its incipient melting point.
- Rhenium-containing alloys are generally designed with much higher cobalt content than the present invention for the purpose of imparting increased solid solubility and phasial stability.
- the superalloys of the present invention unexpectedly show that much lower cobalt contents are possible and desirable toward providing optimized phasial stability, including control of TCP phase formation.
- the rhenium content is about 5.0-7.0% by weight and, advantageously, rhenium is present in an amount of from 5.5% to 6.5% by weight.
- the amount of rhenium in the superalloy of the present invention is significantly greater than the rhenium content of prior art single crystal nickel-based superalloys.
- the superalloys of this invention are generally designed with an increased level of refractory element content, e.g., W+Re+Mo+Ta.
- the tungsten content is about 3.5-7.5% by weight and, advantageously, the amount of tungsten is from 3.5% to 6.5% by weight. Tungsten is added since it is an effective solid solution strengthener and it contributes to strengthening the gamma prime.
- tungsten is effective in raising the alloy's incipient melting temperature.
- the amount of tungsten added to these superalloys is balanced with the amount of rhenium added since they both contribute to the formation of "freckle" defects during the single crystal investment casting process. They also both strongly effect the propensity for TCP phase formation.
- rhenium is effective in raising the alloy's incipient melting point.
- rhenium is a more effective strengthener than tungsten, molybdenum and tantalum in terms of elevated temperature creep-rupture and, therefore, rhenium is added appropriately.
- rhenium has a positive influence on this alloy's hot corrosion resistance.
- rhenium partitions primarily to the gamma matrix, and it is effective in slowing gamma prime particle growth during high temperature, high stress conditions. Besides requiring the balancing of rhenium with tungsten for castability reasons, W+Re must also be set at a level consistent with minimizing TCP phase formation.
- the TCP phases which occur in such material are rich in chromium, tungsten, and rhenium content, with rhenium being present in the greatest proportion.
- the molybdenum content is about 0.25-2.0% by weight.
- molybdenum is present in an amount of from 0.25% to 1.5% by weight.
- Molybdenum is a good solid solution strengthener, but it is not as effective as tungsten, rhenium and tantalum.
- the addition of molybdenum is a means of assisting control of the overall alloy density in the compositions of this invention.
- the tantalum content is about 7.0-10.0% by weight and, advantageously, the tantalum content is from 8.0% to 10.0% by weight. Tantalum is a significant contributor to this alloy's strength through means of solid solution strengthening and enhancement of gamma prime particle strength (tantalum also partitions to the gamma prime phase) . In this alloy, tantalum is able to be utilized at relatively high concentration since it does not contribute to TCP phase formation. Additionally, tantalum is an attractive single crystal alloy additive in this composition since it assists in preventing "freckle" defect formation during the single crystal casting process. Tantalum is also beneficial in this composition since it tends to raise this alloy's gamma prime solvus, and it is effective toward promoting good alloy oxidation and hot corrosion resistance, along with aluminide coating durability.
- the aluminum content is about 5.0-7.0% by weight. Furthermore, the amount of aluminum present in this composition is advantageously from 5.3% to 6.5% by weight.
- Aluminum and titanium are the primary elements comprising the gamma prime phase. These elements are added in this composition in a proportion and ratio consistent with achieving adequate alloy castability, solution heat treatability, phasial stability and high mechanical strength. Aluminum is also added to this alloy in proportions sufficient to provide oxidation resistance.
- the titanium content is about 0.1-1.2% by weight.
- titanium is present in this composition in an amount from 0.2% to 0.8% by weight.
- Titanium is generally beneficial to the alloy's hot corrosion resistance, but it can have a negative effect to oxidation resistance, alloy castability and alloy response to solution heat treatment. Accordingly, the titanium content must be maintained within the stated range of this composition.
- the columbium content is about 0-0.5% by weight and, advantageously, the columbium content is from 0 to 0.3% by weight.
- Columbium is a gamma prime forming element and it is an effective strengthener in the nickel-based superalloys of this invention. Generally, however, columbium is a detriment to alloy oxidation and hot corrosion properties, so its addition to the composition of this invention is minimized.
- columbium is added to this invention's composition for the purpose of gettering carbon, which can be chemi-sorbed into component surfaces during non-optimized vacuum solution heat treatment procedures. Any carbon pick-up will tend to form columbium carbide instead of titanium or tantalum carbide, thereby preserving the greatest proportion of titanium and/or tantalum for gamma prime and/or solid solution strengthening in this alloy.
- hafnium content is about 0-0.15% by weight and, advantageously, hafnium is present in an amount from 0.02 to 0.05% by weight .
- Hafnium is added in a small proportion to the present composition in order to assist with coating adherence.
- Hafnium generally partitions to the gamma prime phase.
- the balance of this invention's superalloy composition is comprised of nickel and small amounts of incidental impurities .
- incidental impurities are entrained from the industrial process of production, and they should be kept to the least amount possible in the composition so that they do not affect the advantageous aspects of the superalloy.
- these incidental impurities may include up to about 0.04% by weight manganese, up to about 0.05% by weight silicon, up to about 0.01% by weight zirconium, up to about 0.001% by weight sulfur, and up to about 0.10% by weight vanadium. Amounts of these impurities which exceed the stated amounts could have an adverse effect upon the resulting alloy's properties.
- the superalloy may optionally contain about 0-0.04% by weight carbon, about 0-0.01% by weight boron, about 0- 0.01% by weight yttrium, about 0-0.01% by weight cerium and about 0-0.01% by weight lanthanum.
- the superalloy of this invention has a composition within the above specified ranges, but it also has a phasial stability number N V3B less than about 2.10.
- the phasial stability number N V3B is less than 1.85 and, preferably, the phasial stability number N V3B is less than 1.65.
- N V3B is defined by the PW N-35 method of nickel-based alloy electron vacancy TCP phas control factor calculation. This calculation is as follows: EQUATION 1 Conversion for weight percent to atomic percent :
- V Rv 0.5P v
- weight percentage Re is added to weight percentage W for the calculation above.
- N ⁇ i the atomic factor of each element in matrix.
- the phasial stability number for th superalloys of this invention is critical and must be less than th stated maximum to provide a stable microstructure and capabilit for the desired properties under high temperature, high stres conditions.
- the phasial stability number can be determine empirically, once the practitioner skilled in the art is i possession of the present subject matter.
- the superalloy of this invention can be used to suitabl make single crystal articles, such as components for turbin engines.
- this superalloy is utilized to make a singl crystal casting to be used under high stress, high temperatur conditions characterized by an increased resistance to creep unde such conditions, particularly high temperature conditions up t about 2030°F.
- this invention ha an increased resistance to creep under high stress, hig temperature conditions at about 2125°F and above compared t similar prior art materials, such as the CMSX-4 superalloy.
- Whil this superalloy can be used for any purpose requiring high strengt castings incorporating a single crystal, its particular use is i the casting of single crystal blades and vanes for gas turbin engines.
- This alloy possesses an unusual resistance to componen recrystallization during solution heat treatment, which i considered an important alloy characteristic that is necessary whe producing advanced technology, multi-piece, cast bonded singl crystal airfoils. Additionally, this superalloy provides the allo castability characteristics believed necessary to produc conventional-process-cast, moderately-sized turbine airfoils wit intricate cooling passages.
- the single crystal components made from this invention's compositions can be produced by any of the single crystal casting techniques known in the art.
- single crystal directional solidification processes can be utilized, such as the seed crystal process and the choke process.
- the single crystal castings made from the superalloy of the present invention are advantageously subjected to a high temperature aging heat treatment in order to optimize the creep- rupture properties of these alloys.
- This invention's single crystal castings can be aged at a temperature of from about 1950°F to about 2125°F for about 1 to about 20 hours.
- this invention's single crystal castings can be aged at a temperature of from about 2050°F to about 2125°F for about 1 to about 20 hours.
- the optimum aging temperature and time for aging depends on the precise composition of the superalloy.
- This invention provides superalloy compositions having a unique blend of desirable properties. These properties include: excellent single crystal component castability, particularly for moderately sized blade and vane components; excellent cast component solutionability; excellent resistance to single crystal cast component recrystallization; ultra-high creep-rupture strength to about 2030°F; extremely good low cycle fatigue strength; extremely good high cycle fatigue strength; high impact strength; very good bare hot corrosion resistance; very good bare oxidation resistance; adequate component coatability; and microstructural stability, such as resistance to formation of the undesirable TCP phases. As noted above, this superalloy has a precise composition with only small permissible variations in any one element if the unique blend of properties is to be maintained.
- Table 1 the alloy chromium content was reduced to improve alloy stability. Cobalt content, initially thought to be required fo increased solid solubility, could be signi icantly reduced.
- Refractory element content (+Re+Mo+Ta) was varied, while the summation of the primary gamma prime partitioning elementb (Al+Ti+Ta+Cb) was also varied.
- Standard N v3B calculations were performed during the initial all design stage to assist respective alloy phasial stability predictions, with that number varying from one alloy compositi to another.
- -19- S ome of the alloys were produced using production-type procedures. These alloys were vacuum induction melted in the C annon-Muskegon Corporation V-1 furnace, yielding approximately 200 -300 lbs. of bar product per alloy (see Table 2 below).
- Q uantities of each compositional iteration, as reported in Table 2 were made into test bars and test blades by vacuum investment casting.
- S olution heat treatment procedures were developed in the laboratory in 3" and 6" diameter tube furnaces. Gamma prime aging treatments were also performed in the laboratory.
- CMSX-IOA specimen's N v3B number was 2.08, CMSX-IOB was designed to the 2.02 level. This was accomplished by the further reduction of alloy Cr content and similar reduction to Co and W+Re level. W was reduced more than the Re in this specimen since Re is more effective in the solid solution. Additionally, wherein some loss in W contribution to the gamma prime could be anticipated, it was sufficiently replaced by the modest increase to Ta content in this composition. These changes resulted in the CMSX-IOB alloy specimen exhibiting even more improved creep strength at 1800*F. Table 6 reported below illustrates that three specimens achieved an average life of 961 hours, with 1.0% creep occurring at an average of 724 hours. However, it was observed that TCP phase was present at higher temperature.
- N v3B numbers were 1.90 for CMSX-10C and 1.95 for CMSX-10D. Re was maintained at around 5% while W was further reduced to improve stability in these specimens. Alloy Ta was increased since it did not participate in TCP formation and the Ta/W ratio was effectively improved, which assisted with alloy castability. Chromium was reduced in the -IOC specimens but increased to 4.0% in the -lOD specimens to provide an opportunit to determine the suitability of the Cr levels from a hot corrosion standpoint. Co was reduced in both materials, significantly in the -lOD specimen, while Al+Ti level was also reduced to assist in achieving more complete gamma prime solutioning. Creep-rupture results for the two specimens are reported below in Tables 8 and 9, respectively. Even though t
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the results for tests performed to 117 and 144 hours for the CMSX-10C and CMSX-10D specimens, respectively. In both cases, the materials performed similar t MAR M 247-type materials, thereby confirming the suitability of the low Cr alloy design concept.
- CMSX-IOF contained .02% C and .02% B. These additions were observed to improve casting yield and may have assisted in providing more consistent control of single crystal cast article orientation. However, the melting point depressants, C and B, restricted the specimen's response to solution heat treatment. The CMSX-IOF creep-rupture properties are reported in Table 10 below.
- CMSX-IOE, G, H and I, plus CMSX-12A creep-rupture specime results are reported below in Tables ll, 12, 13, 14, and 15, respectively. The results show a general improvement to allo creep-rupture strength above 1900*F while maintaining extreme good strength at lower temperatures.
- Varying the primary gamma prime aging treatment was explored wit most of the development activity concentrated on achieving optimized gamma prime size and distribution through longer soak times at 1975*F (see Table 4) since higher temperature aging treatments accelerated TCP phase formation during the aging cycle.
- Microchemical SEM WDX needle particle analyses was performed on failed CMSX-10G creep-rupture specimen.
- the results of the analysis are reported in Table 16 below and indicate, again, that the needles formed in this class of material are particularly rich in Re, but are als enrichened with Cr and W.
- CMSX-lOGa -101a, -12B,-12C, -10J, -lORi and -12Ri compositions were defined and evaluated. No creep-rupture properties were generated for the CMSX-IOJ specimen, although test bars were produced and a solution heat treatment developed. Again, the inclusion of C and B in the -10J composition appeared to have positive effect to single crystal test specimen yield. Additionally, the lower levels of C and B than evaluated in CMSX IOF specimen, particularly lower B, made the material more amenable to solution heat treatment. Ninety-eight to ninety-nin percent gamma prime solutioning was achieved, as opposed to the approximate 95% level typical of the CMSX-10F composition.
- the CMSX-lOGa and -101a alloys were designed with N v3B numbers of about 1.70. These alloy specimens contain about 2.5% Cr, 3.3- 4.0% Co, 5.6-6.0% Re, greater Ta/W ratio, reduced Cb, and reduce Al+Ti content. Such reduction to Cb+Al+Ti level improved the solutioning characteristics of the materials (see Table 4) , plus assisted achievement of increased alloy stability. Both specimens exhibited nearly full gamma prime solutioning.
- CMSX-lOIa specimens also provided significantly increased creep strength at the higher temperature extremes, but it did n appear to develop strength as good as the CMSX-lOGa specimens i lower temperature tests, as indicated by the results in Table 1 below.
- Si ilarly, CMSX-12B, with Nv3B at 1.80 level and additional chemistry balance as presented in Table 1, provided attractive creep strength at test condition greater than 1900*F, but did n perform -quite as well as CMSX-lOGa in lower temperature tests, indicated by the results reported in Table 20 below.
- Alloy composition has the greatest effect on ultimate creep strength. However, some of the variation experienced between alloy derivatives, and particularly for tests exhibiting inconsistent results for a given alloy, can be caused by variation in casting process condition.
- Casting process therm gradient variation affects the cast specimen dendrite arm spac and ultimately, its response to solution heat treatment and primary gamma prime aging treatment. It must, therefore, be recognized that much of the creep-rupture results reported herein may have been generated under non-optimized conditions and may be capable of improvement.
- Improved casting process control may provide casting microstructures more amenable to solution treatment and study to determine the appropriate primary gamma prime aging treatment to provide the optimum gamma prime particle size, which may result in further mechanical property enhancement.
- the CMSX-12C composition was designed to provide a calculated N v3B number of 1.70.
- the alloy Cr content was designed at 2.8% and Co set at 3.5% aim for this alloy.
- An attractive Ta/W ratio was maintained while Re content was moderate at 5.8%.
- the alloy's Al+Ti content was reduced, in comparison to the CMSX-12A and CMSX-12B specimens, to provide improved alloy response to solution procedure.
- CMSX-lORi and CMSX-12R1 compositions were designed at the
- Table 27 reports results of burner rig hot corrosion test undertaken with the CMSX-12R1 specimen. The measurements were taken at the bar location which experienced the maximum attack, i.e., 1652*F location, with the results showing the DS MAR M 002 alloy experienced approximately 20X more metal loss than the CMSX-12Ri specimen. Visual obseirvation showed a similar result for the CMSX-lORi alloy. Both CMSX-lORi alloy and CMSX-12Ri alloy showed similar resistance to attack as CMSX-4 alloy based on visual specimen review at 60, 90 and 120 hours. TAB E 27
- Table 20 below reports the results of cyclic oxidation tests undertaken at 2012*F with March 1 gas velocity.
- the CMSX-12Ri specimen was similarly resistant to oxidation attack at 2012*F, however, it was not as good as CMSX-4 at approximately 1886*F exposure.
- the CMSX-12Ri elevated temperature impact strength minimum is similar to CMSX-4 and its maximum occurring at 3-742' is better.
- CMSX-12RI exhibits 2.5 times life or 15X on ⁇ trength.
- Results are 2-1/2 times better than CMSX-4 out to about'3000 cycles.
- Results are similar to CMSX-4 at 50000 cycles, and above.
- CMSX-lORi and CMSX-12R1 test data indicates that adequate corrosion and oxidation resistance can be achieved with extrem low alloy chromium content. Additionally, extremely good ther mechanical fatigue tensile and impact strengths are apparent w the superalloys of this invention.
- the alloys of this invention are amenable to HIP processing. Specimens HIP treated as reported in Table 35 below, showed nearly complete pore closure and absence from incipient melting.
- CMSX-lORi and CMSX-12Ri alloys were evaluated. The data reported below further shows the unique capabilities exhibited by the alloys of this invention. More specifically, very attractive hot corrosion and dynamic oxidation resistance are exhibited by these alloys in tandem with exceptionally high creep-rupture, thermo-mechanical fatigue, tensile and impact strengths, despite the extremely low level of chromium content employed, thereby providing a unique blend of desirable properties.

- the burner-rig tests were performed to about 120 hours duration at about 1742°F with ingestion of 2 ppm salt.
- Additional alloy compositions were defined in accordance with this invention for the purpose of further optimizing alloy solution heat treatment characteristics, alloy stability, and creep-rupture strength, while maintaining the extremely good oxidation, hot corrosion and thermo-mechanical fatigue strengths already achieved with the invention.
- Table 41 below reports the aim chemistries for additional materials tested, which provide an even better blend of useful engineering property characteristics than the above-described alloys.
- These optimized compositions typically contain lower chromium and cobalt contents than the materials described in Table 1 above.
- these optimized alloys typically contain higher rhenium, lower tungsten and lower phasial stability number N V3B .
- Table 42 below reports the chemistries for additional alloy heats (200-320 lb. quantities) . As with the alloys reported in Table 1 above, the alloys having optimized compositions were produced using production-type procedures, and were made into test bars and test blades by vacuum investment casting. TABLE 42
- Table 44 reports the results of stress- and creep- rupture tests undertaken with CMSX-10K specimens. Variously sized test bar and blade specimens, which were cast at industrial sources, were utilzed for these tests. The test results show extremely good stress and creep-rupture properties for these alloys .
- CMSX-IOK alloy tensile data are reported in Table 45 below. The tests were performed at temperatures ranging from RT-2012°F. The test results show improvement relative to earlier alloy test results presented in Table 36 above.
- Dynamic elastic modulus data are reported in Table 46 below.
- the CMSX-IOK alloy data are reported for test conditions ranging from RT-2012°F.
- Figure 6 illustrates the results of initial measurements taken on corrosion pins having CMSX-10K and CMSX-12D compositions, which were run at 1742°F, 2 ppm salt conditions out to about 200 hours.
- CMSX-12D stress- and creep-rupture data are reported in Table 51 below, while this alloy's respective tensile properties for tests conducted at RT-2102°F conditions are reported in Table 52 below.
